As has been stated a few times in this thread, you need to click on the three dots at the end of the line for a book. That displays a menu with various options. One of them is to download the book.

However, with the desktop version I have, v. 4.3.7007, there doesn't appear to be anywhere I can find that provides for downloading an acsm.
That is correct. The desktop app is managing the kepub version of the books.

Purchase History will take me to my books at secure.kobobooks.com, but there is no link to download at that location.
The purchase history is exactly that. There is no way to download books.

edit - With regard to free books acquired through Kobo, say Gutenberg versions, a link is provided directly to a downloadable epub, again at "My Account" > "My Books".
Huh, you seem to be contradicting your first statement. Or maybe you are expecting an ACSM file for all books? If the book does not have DRM, then the download link on the menu is to the epub, not an ACSM file. If it does have Adobe DRM, then the ACSM is downloaded for ADE to handle.
